About
What we call love' explores how the notion of love has evolved within the 20th century. How have seismic sociological changes concerning sexuality, marriage and intimacy affected the way we conceive love today? How does visual art, from Surrealism to the present day, deal with love? This book draws on Surrealism's idea of love as "l'amour fou" (mad love) and new visions of love which emerged after the 1960s.0Artists include Marina Abramovic and Ulay, Sadie Benning, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brancusi, Brassaï, André Breton, Cecily Brown, Sophie Calle, Marcel Duchamp, Elmgreen and Dragset, Nan Goldin, Felix González-Torres, Douglas Gordon, Mona Hatoum, Damien Hirst, Jim Hodges, Rebecca Horn, Ghérasim Luca, Annette Messager, Tracey Moffatt, Yoko Ono, Benjamin Péret, Carolee Schneemann, Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Wolfgang Tillmans, Cerith Wyn Evans and Akram Zaatari.
